Coleman Screened Canopy Tent Review 10×10
This is the tent I ultimately ended up deciding to buy for camping. This way I can have a sheltered place to cook and prepare meals and read a book on buggy or drizzly days.

Biolite campstove and charger. Does it work? Yes. Is it heavy? Yes. Will it last? No. Not as reliable as a Coleman, Primus or MSR burner
